+// Imported Agent Skills, per bot.
+//
+// A skill is the open agentskills.io format: a folder named after the skill
+// holding SKILL.md (YAML frontmatter: name + description) and, in richer
+// skills, scripts and references. This store implements a deliberately
+// narrow v1 of that spec:
+//
+//   - SKILL.md only. Registry audits (Snyk "ToxicSkills", Feb 2026) found
+//     confirmed exfiltration payloads in 2-13% of public skills. Supporting
+//     files are outside the v1 review and integrity boundary, so every one is
+//     skipped and named on the review surface.
+//   - imports land DISABLED. The UI shows the full SKILL.md and the scan
+//     warnings; a person enables it after reading. Nothing an import
+//     contains reaches any prompt before that.
+//   - provenance is pinned: source URL and content hash are recorded at
+//     import so "where did this come from" always has an answer.
+//
+// Enabled skills reach the bot two ways, mirroring how MEMORY.md works:
+// an index line per skill (name + description, hard budget) rides the
+// system prompt, and the files themselves sit in the workspace where the
+// CLI's own file tools — or its native .claude/skills discovery — read
+// them on demand.
+//
+// Agent-authored skills (/learn + skill_manage) use the same store, but
+// land in staged.json first. A person confirms the in-app card before
+// applyStagedSkillWrite promotes and enables the exact bytes the person
+// reviewed.
